Spam E-Mail Wallpaper! Junk Mail Becomes Home Decor With Spamghetto.

You know those god-awful spam advertisements you receive in your inbox promising a greater sex life, a larger penis or wealth beyond your wildest dreams? Well, finally someone has taken those and put them to good design use.





Italy based design studio, ToDo, has brilliantly turned that e-mail spam into purchasable and customizable wallpaper or wall coverings under the name "Spamghetto".





The result is a print-on-demand, “green” FSC-certified, non-woven wall covering has won international recognition with a Silver Award at the 2010 European Design Awards.




The process is just as fascinating as the product itself: ToDo created a generative software that feeds on spam’s enticing claims, creating mesmerizing, subtly offbeat digital patterns in which one striking offer leads to the other in a compelling, unique design.



You can choose between various styles according to your taste, with thin or chunky strands forming different patterns.



If you want a custom version, provide them with your room's dimensions and using their generative software, they can produce a design that wraps and folds around all the objects that sit on the on the wall's surface.

About eBoy:
eBoy was founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Sven Smital with the acquisition of the eBoy.com domain. The basic idea driving eBoy was the embracement of the new possibilities of the emerging digital world. The decision to directly work on and for the screen led to the use of pixels. A modular based work system started to evolve and resulted in complex object rich artwork. eBoy is lucky to have worked with some of the finest clients and partners. Among them are Adidas, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Paul Smith, DKNY, Kidrobot, MTV, The New York Times, Wired Magazine and many, many more. eBoy currently is based in Berlin/Germany and in Vancouver/Canada.

Wallpaper Republic of Australia is yet another wonderful wallpaper company who collaborates with artists to create wall coverings that are not mass-produced. Like Rollout of Canada, they have many styles of artwork by artists from all over the world, which has been printed as wallpaper that can be purchased from their online store here.

Grow House Grow specializes in narrative-inspired wallpaper design. Each charming design is available in three colorways (variations) and their style and appeal works in all types of rooms from dining and children's rooms to adult bedrooms and living areas.

The collection (with the descriptions from the site) is shown below. Each style is first shown in situ, then a detail, followed by the available colors.

Cattle Kate:
the hardworking and wrongly accused homesteader, is decorated with nooses and lassos.



Aleister Crowley:
the infamous occultist, gets a sumptuous, seance-invoking damask.



Captain Smith:
the first and final captain of the RMS Titanic, has a fluid, jungenstil-inspired style straight from the Atlantic.



Christopher:
who believed in a world so deeply that everything around him came to life.



Nellie:
with curly hair and sharp wit, is pure mischief with a side of tea biscuits.



Cottontail:
where a cotton sprig is transformed into the playful garden “where bunnies come from.” The neighboring alfalfa farm never saw it coming.




All their wallpapers are hand silk screened with care on vinyl-coated paper. The rolls come untrimmed and unpasted (they suggest professional application). All of their papers are wipable and strippable.

Roll: 27 inches wide x 5 yards long, Sheet: 27 inches wide x 36 inches long



Grow House Grow is based in Brooklyn, NY, and is cared for by illustrator and designer Katie Deedy.
